J in Sepia

yarn patterns

I was making some homemade dryer balls today out of this wool, and loved the pattern in the skein.

Bike for sale

Drew got a great new bike at the DI, so we're trying to sell his old one. Pictures of his bike happen to be the only ones taken today.

tipping the toybox

J tried so hard today to tip this toybox over so he could get a specific toy. it was fun to watch.

Melted Bottle

this is why bottles go on the top rack in the dishwasher only.

6 months!

Playing with mom's bobbypins.

new car seat

J's old car eat was, shall we say, getting squishy. he barely fit any more. so we got him a new car seat that should last him for quite a while. he seemed to enjoy it when we were trying it out for size, and especially enjoyed having more room.

carnivorous chewing.

teaching this kid young that yes, it is okay to eat birds :)

tower making

down our hall

A few days ago (Saturday, I think) I was walking down the hall to go check and see if there were any washers open. I saw some of these ceiling tiles laying on the floor, with some water dripping through. knowing that most people weren't awake yet (wait, people actually sleep in on Saturdays?), I went and let the manager know. they didn't seem surprised about the leak at all, but were glad to know about the tiles falling apart and falling down. the tiles falling apart and the leak have just been getting worse ever since.  This was the scene today when Drew left for work. I guess they aren't going to do much about this leak, except for catch the water, since it's been a few days, and all that has happened is putting a bag under the leak, and a bucket under that to catch any falling water. hopefully this doesn't last all winter...

being cute

playing with the camera

J was having a blast today, trying to eat and otherwise play with the camera. I got a few good pictures while all that was happening.

New sheet

I got one of the flannel sheets done today. J was fascinated by my pulling the elastic through the fabric, and kept trying to pull it away from me. he was so excited when I got finished, and he wrapped himself up in it.

Chicken Tower

To show Aunt AS that we love to knock down our chicken tower. this is before it was knocked down, but he happily did for the next 10 minutes after this. before he realized he was hungry!

A boy and his snoopy

This picture doesn't show it (who can keep on doing what cute thing they were doing when a camera is pulled out?) but J kept trying to eat snoopy's nose. it was rather adorable.
